Gangsters paradise part 18
Sam froze for a few seconds not knowing what to do, she then came to her sense's and crawled faster to him, he had been shot twice, once in the chest and again in the leg. She took her jacket off and held it on the wound on his chest as it was loosing a lot more blood. He winced in pain, he couldn't move, he was covered in blood. She kept him talking to try and keep him awake.
'come on Stuart stay with me, we need to get you through this, you're going to be ok.' she said quietly.
'even you cant promise me that , I no you too well remember, I can see it in your eyes, you're scared.' he said shaking, Sam just couldn't look him in the eye, she was just hoping Phil would hurry up, she got out her mobile again and phoned for back up, and an ambulance, she couldn't cope with this alone.
'I'm sorry you know Sam, I didn't mean to threaten you earlier, you're better off with Phil anyway, I mean look at me… I'm a looser.' he said finding it hard to breath, Sam just looked at him, she carried on applying pressure to the wound, she then spoke a few minutes later.
'you're not a looser…. I think we should just put everything that's happened between you and me in the past, I've moved on now Stuart, so should you.' she then noticed that she was now covered in blood, her white top had blood stains all over it, she held Stuarts body in her arms as she noticed that he was drifting in and out of consciousness. He was mumbling words every now and again, she thought he was trying to say that he loved her, but she wasn't sure.
'come on Stuart, the ambulance will be here soon, I need you to get through this for me' she said, Stuart had tears running down his face, she held him tighter to her body, she was beginning to feel sorry for him now, she wanted to help him, but she couldn't, not until the back up had arrived, it had only bin around five minutes since she rang, but it semt like forever.
'I'm sorry, the one thing you ask me to do, and I cant even do that for you, you are right, I am pathetic' he said, Sam was getting upset, she hated him at the best of times but she would never wish this on him.
'you're not pathetic, I didn't mean it, we both said things we didn't mean.' she said, the tears running down her cheeks.
'yeah, I suppose we did, but I meant everything I said about me loving you, I love you more than anything, I just wanted you to know that, coz I no that I'm not going to pull through this.' he said, Sam didn't know what to do, she couldn't tell him she loved him back, she loved Phil, so instead she kissed his cheek, he looked into her eyes and slowly closed his, she knew he'd gone, she slowly placed his body back on the floor and moved away, she then started to cry uncontrollably……
Phil and Steve were inside the warehouse trying to find a way out, they had gone in their coz they had heard gunshots, so they went to have a look around, when they tried to leave they found that they had been locked in, they had somehow found themselves in the cellar, it was really dark, they both kept walking into things making lots of noise, then Phil saw a light coming from what looked like a window, he smashed it, and climbed onto some boxes to get out, Steve followed him.
When Steve was out they stood their for a moment until they heard ambulances and police cars, they followed where the noise was coming from and then they saw two people being put into the ambulance on a stretcher with a cover over them. Phil's heart went into his mouth, he was hoping Sam was ok, he then saw her with the DCI, she looked very shaken up, she was crying and she semt to move out of the way of everyone wanting to be alone.
He ran over to her, she then saw him in the distance, she was feeling mixed emotions of anger and relief and sadness all at the same time, she cried even more as he reached her and put his arms around her, he kissed the top of her head trying to comfort her, and get rid of all the pain inside her.
Phil walked with Sam for a while, he needed to get her away from all this, she had calmed down now and they had walked around the other side of the warehouse to talk alone. He had his arm around her waist protecting her, he still knew that this place was dangerous and that the gangsters hadn't been caught yet.
'you ok Sam, you really worried me back then, I thought it was you….. well that…. well you know what I mean.' he said, he couldn't say the words he wanted too in case he upset her.
'well it wasn't me was it Phil, it was Stuart, so you have nothing to worry about anymore, he's out of our lives now.' she said nastily, Phil just sighed, he knew she didn't mean it, she was just upset.
'I am sorry you no, if I could of got to you quicker maybe I could have tried to save him, its my fault I no, but there's nothing more you could have done Sam.' he said sadly, Sam stopped walking and looked into his eyes, she then kissed him, he kissed her back, all the emotions she was feeling inside semt to disappear and make her happy. She couldn't stay mad at him, she loved him too much, but she couldn't help how scared she was earlier that he may have been killed, but the fact that Stuart had been killed did really get to her, she had feelings for him once, she did love him a little bit, but he always came second best to Phil. Phil stopped kissing her because they had heard another gun shot, they both looked at each other alarmed.
'what the hell was that?' Sam said worriedly. Before Phil could answer another shot was fired, they ran behind some bins and started to move along the wall of the warehouse, Phil made Sam stay behind him.
'right, we need to find out where the shots are coming from, my guess is that its coming from where the DCI is, and Steve.' he said, he had just realised that Steve could have been injured, he tried to hide the fact that he was scared, but Sam could already tell he was worried about his brother. She gripped his hand and smiled at him reassuringly, he gave her a small smile back, he couldn't help how he felt, he was now just starting to realise how much this gang were actually capable of……
